917 Dry Creek Road, Ancona VIC 3715

Set across approximately 94 acres of native bushland, established pines and open clearings, 917 Dry Creek Road offers the kind of privacy and tranquillity that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. With tracks winding throughout the property, stunning valley views from multiple vantage points and nothing but nature surrounding you, it's a place where weekends naturally slow down and the pace of everyday life feels a little further away. Despite its peaceful setting, you're only a couple of minutes from State Forest, approximately five minutes from the shores of Lake Eildon and around 20 minutes from Mansfield, making it easy to enjoy the best of the High Country without sacrificing convenience. At the heart of the property sits a beautifully crafted stone homestead, built from bluestone and an array of recycled materials that give the home genuine warmth and character. It's a home with personality, where natural textures, timber and stone combine to create an inviting country atmosphere. The spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area is designed for everyday living, featuring modern appliances, a walk-in pantry, excellent storage, split system heating and cooling, and a wood fire for the cooler months. A second living area with a Euro fireplace offers another comfortable space to unwind before leading upstairs to the expansive mezzanine. Currently used as a bedroom, the mezzanine is an incredibly versatile space complete with its own split system, bathroom and separate powder room, making it equally suited as guest accommodation, a studio or additional living area. The ground floor master bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own ensuite, finished with natural materials that complement the home's relaxed country style. Wide verandahs provide plenty of places to sit and enjoy the peaceful surrounds, while the adjoining covered entertaining area with its concrete floor is ideal for family barbecues, long lunches or simply gathering with friends, regardless of the season. Privately positioned away from the main residence, the separate cottage is full of charm. Featuring high ceilings, timber finishes, a wood fire, split system, kitchenette and modern bathroom, it offers comfortable accommodation for extended family, guests or potential short stay accommodation (STCA). The flexible layout includes a generous open studio-style space along with a separate bedroom. The property is well equipped for country living with a large open bay machinery shed, additional storage sheds, three dams and an extensive network of tracks providing easy access throughout the acreage. Whether you're looking for a permanent tree change, a peaceful weekend escape or somewhere the family can enjoy for generations to come, this is a property that offers space, privacy and a genuine connection to the High Country lifestyle.
